Definitions

• the present invention relates to equipment for arranging plants vertically, with an integrated irrigation system and applicable to plants contained in pots., Composed of a structure and pots designed to obtain remarkable ease in the management and irrigation of plants arranged in a plane vertical.
• the equipment of the invention is provided so that through its design, the assembly and disassembly of vertically arranged plants, as well as their irrigation, can be carried out quickly and easily.
• Some structures or mounting means are known to arrange plants vertically and provide irrigation in that arrangement.
• One of the methods used consists of a thick mesh that is hung or mounted on a structure or panels to remain vertically., In this mesh or panels with mesh the plants are inserted so that their roots are intertwined with it, the Irrigation is provided by carrying water to the top or to different parts of the mesh by means of hoses or ducts, the water then drops by gravity saturating the mesh and watering the plants.
• the invention presents a new structure capable of mounting or supporting the plants contained in pots in a vertical manner, of containing and dispensing the water for irrigation from its upper part, of carrying water to the pots without the need for them to be connected or connected with or any device for this and to collect excess water sewage in its lower part., So by having a simpler method for irrigation, which works by gravity and does not require unions or connections to bring water to the pots, they can be assembled or disassembled more quickly.
• the irrigation method in the present invention works as follows: the equipment arranges the pots directly above the others and always with its part open at the same angle between 91 ° and 170 ° with respect to the vertical and includes a container in its upper part where the irrigation water is taken, from said container lowers by gravity through a device to regulate the flow and leaves it slowly and steadily, in the form of a drip.
• the irrigation water then falls to a low relief that is located on the lateral part or body of the pot that is just below, from there it is coduced to a cavity in the inner part, which has an arrangement of holes towards the interior allowing it to dispense irrigation water.
• Figure 1. It shows a side view and a perspective view of the Frame, where the ducts (1.1) can be seen on its longest side, the ducts (1.2) in the corners of its upper end and the tubular extensions (1.3) in the corners of its lower end.
• FIG. 2 Shows two perspective views of the Pot Holder, where the tubular extension (2.1) can be seen on both sides of the piece and the past groove or opening (2.2) on its longest side.
• Figure 3. It shows two perspective views of the Water Container, where tubular extensions (3.1) can be seen at the corners of its base and the hole (3.2) also at its base.
• Figure 4.- Shows a front view and a perspective view of a dripper.
• Figure 5. It shows a perspective view of the collector support, where the ducts (5.1) can be seen in the upper corners of the piece.
• Figure 6. Shows a perspective view of the Drainage Manifold.
• Figure 7. It shows a perspective view of the Flowerpot, where a drain hole (7.1) and an extension tube (7.2) can be seen, which is inserted there.
• Figure 8.- Shows a sectional view of the Flowerpot, where an opening in the form of a low relief (8.1) and a cavity in the inner wall (8.2) can be seen.
• Figure 9. Shows a perspective view of the Flowerpot, where an arrangement of holes (9.1) towards the inner side of the flowerpot can be seen., A flange or lateral extension (9.2) can also be seen in the open or upper part of the pot, and an eyebrow or guide (9.3) in the same place, aligned with the drain hole.
• Figure 10. Shows a perspective view of all the components of the equipment.
• Figure 11.- Shows a front view, a side view and perspective view of the equipment already assembled or assembled.
• All these components constructed of a rigid material with strength and strength characteristics, which are also suitable for the injection molding process, such as polypropylene or some other plastic compound of similar properties.
• the rectangular configuration frame (1) will have ducts (1.1) on its longest side to attach or attach the pot holders to it., It will have ducts (1.2) at the corners of its upper end and with tubular extensions (1.3 ) at the corners of its lower end, these allow to attach or join the frame, the water container in its upper part and the collector support in its lower part.
• the pot holder (2) must hold the pots so that the low relief that allows water to enter the pot, or the hole to expel excess water or drainage is not obstructed or covered, and pots should be arranged with their open part always in the same angle between 91 ° and 170 ° with respect to the vertical.
• the support will also have a tubular extension (2.1) on both sides to fit or join with the frame and with a past groove or opening (2.2) that meets with the function of ensuring the correct position of the pot and allowing the displacement of this in its support.
• the water container (3) will have a rectangular configuration and will be located at the top of the structure., It will have tubular extensions (3.1) in the four corners of its base to fit or join with the frames and will have a hole (3.2) in its base to insert the dropper.
• the Dripper (4) is a device that allows to regulate the speed with which a flow of water passes through it, being these in common use in the agricultural industry., It will be located below the water container to dispense it in the form of drip to the lower immediate pot.
• the Collector Support (5) will have a rectangular configuration and will be located at the bottom of the structure, will have ducts (5.1) in the four corners opposite its base to fit or join with the frames.
• the Drainage Manifold (6) will have a rectangular configuration, fits inside the collector support and is not fixed to it. Its function is to store the excess water that drains from the lower pot.
• the circular configuration flowerpot (7) will have a hole (7.1) to drain the excess irrigation water and includes a tube or duct (7.2) that is inserted into the drain hole, this brings excess or drainage water to a point near and just above the low relief in the lower immediate pot., will have an opening (8.1) that allows the entry of water from the side or body of the pot, and consists of a low relief that directs the water that falls from the container or the upper pot to a cavity (8.2) in the inner wall of the pot., in this cavity is an arrangement of holes (9.1) that are oriented towards the inner side of the pot, where it finally enters irrigation water.
• the pot must have a flange or lateral extension (9.2) in its open or upper part, whose function is to serve as a stop between the pot ' and its support., It will also have an eyebrow or guide (9.3) in the same part of the pot, this guarantees its correct position in the support and will be aligned with the drain hole.
